The Bureau of Statistics on the ''New
South,

South"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Bureau of
Statistics yesterday issued a large
volume, report upon the commercial and
industrial condition, transportation and
other facilities of Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten
nessee and Kentucky.
The information was collected by expert
agents detailed to each of these ten
States. The development of transporta
ton by railroad and water the growth of
agricultural and mineral operations, etc,
are given in great detail Chief Switzler,
in reviewing the reports, says:
Whatever speculations may be deduced
from the exhibit here made, or the lessons
it may teach our statesmen, it will not be
questioned that the reports furnish evil
dences of recuperatve energy, and of
material, progress and development by
the Southern people, unexampled in the
history of our civilization: in short, that
the new and the mightier South is rapidly
emerging from the blight and desolatlons
of the civil war, and promises III a short
time to attain high degree of prosperity.
This marvellous development can be
truthfully affirmed, not simply, or
chiefly, in respect to railway
transportation, or to mining, or
manufactures, but to every material In
terest of the South and to almost every
section of it. The exceptional stations are
those which are destitute of direct rail-
way or water communications with the
markets of the world. These, and these
only. are yet to feel the forces which
quicken the sluggish currents of the old
life, and these, no doubt, in a compare
lively short time, viii hear 'the whirl OF
the wheels that weave the web of towns
The contents of this report will be revela-
tions to the country, even to the Southern
people themselves, for they disclose a
wealth of opportunities for enter.
prise and industry which is un-
paralleled. The advantages of the South

the cultivation of cotton, sugar, and rice
but for agricultural development in all
its branches and for manufacturing for
mining the precious metals, for coal and
iron (Which are more substantial founda-
tons Of prosperity, for numbering and
for stock raising are being appreciated
by the people of other parts Of the Union,
and already thousands of enterprising i m
migrants from the North and West, and
millions and even hundreds of millions of
capital are pouring into the Southern
States.

band, which led to their separation about
